"Let us strengthen the ' Swachhata Hi Seva' movement with our active and continuous participation so that we can fulfil Mahatma Gandhi's dream of a clean India", he said.

Congress general secretary Digvijaya Singh also wished the prime minister on his birthday to Modi. Assam chief minister Sarbananda Sonowal wished PM Modi on behalf of the people of Assam.

PM Modi would then attend the closing ceremony of the Narmada Mahotsav, address a gathering at Dabhoi and lay the foundation stone for the National Tribal Freedom Fighters' Museum.
